HYDERABAD: Art nurtures minds and stimulates creativity. Embracing art has become increasingly popular, leading to some exceptional work from creative individuals. One such person is Vishwa Sindhuri Nethi, the visionary behind the Little Boto Project.
Through this initiative, she helps people incorporate art into their free time, refreshing their minds with colouring books that she has carefully curated. By designing colour books for different age groups, Vishwa is leaving a significant mark in the world of art. CE spoke with her to learn more about this innovative concept and her journey thus far.
I am a textile design graduate from the National Institute of Design, which marked the beginning of my design journey. I spent nearly 12 years in textiles, working with the handloom sector in India and later in the home textile industry in the US. Eventually, I hit a saturation point; my lifestyle no longer aligned with the work I was doing.
I started thinking about how I could use my skills in a different way. I’ve always believed in my creative freedom, and that’s how the Little Boto Project was born. I wanted to create something independently, unlike textiles, where there’s a constant dependency between the maker and the buyer.
I sought something different. Drawing has been a passion of mine since childhood, and when I began working with colouring books, the artist in me truly came alive. By heart, I am an artist, and by profession, a designer.
